The International PhD Programme in Molecular Medicine is taught entirely in English. During the three year period of studies, students must take part in a number of compulsory activities. Central teaching activities include the lecture Improve your Textbook Knowledge as well as a Journal Club and the biweekly seminar Progress Report. The lecture Improve your Textbook Knowledge allows graduates from different disciplines to refresh the basic knowledge needed to perform research in molecular medicine independently of their scientific background. In the seminar Progress Report, students are trained to communicate and present their own research data to their fellow students and to place it in a broader international context. Furthermore, graduates must attend a series of 30 lectures a year presented by external speakers. Another important compulsory course is the seminar Good Scientific Practice which takes place at the beginning of practical work.

In addition to curricular seminars and lectures, we offer our PhD students a large variety of optional activities. As one of our aims is to give students insights into the work of industrial employers, we organize excursions to pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Summer schools and other scientific events in cooperation with international partner universities and partners from industry motivate students to deepen their knowledge in basic science and practical applications. We also organize scientific retreats focusing on particular research topics. In addition, there is a wide range of key competence seminars organized in order to improve the employability of our graduates. From this variety of optional activities students must choose a minimum of two courses per year.
Within the first two years of doctoral training, students are also expected to attend at least two practical training sessions in different laboratories or in industry. This allows them to learn new and innovative techniques that go beyond their own research field and to establish contact to possible employers.

Please note: This programme is only for medical students of Ulm University and teaching language is in german!
